delivered himself up to Sheriff Lang.
uah' saying that he had shot and
supposed that be had killed one
y, NJ Nichols the same day, some-
where near Blaine post office, (tbis
county, and he desired the protection
OF the officer. He Immediately Sc.
cured counsel of attorney Maxwell.
II is said that the difficulty arose over
the trespassing Of Herdiman's cattle
through a private lane Of Nichols.
winch lane Herdiman claimed as =
public highway. Coroner Simpson
was summoned early Friday morning
the injured man only living about
SIX hours after the shooting. Mr..
simpson upon arriving on the scene,
immediately empanneled a jury and
an examination ensued. 1t was as
certained from testimony that Mich
OILS was on one side Of small creek
ana Herdlman on the opposite side
when dispute arose; Nichols was
unarmed, but Herdiman was armed
with a forty-five calibre Winchester
rifle. and the consequences were that
the dispute became so hotly engaged
In and Herdiman's passion arose to
such pitch that prompted him to
level his fre-arm, which he did and
discharged the same; the ball enter
ing Nichols right side about three
quarters of an inch below the first
RIB, passing out the back near the
spinal column. The distance between
the two men is said to be only about
fifteen feet. Herdiman has waived
-
his examination and will stand trial
the coming term of court. News
reached here by telephone from
Asotin, yesterday morning, that
Chas. Myer shot one AL. Simpson, and
that it was likely to prove fatal.
Simpson had eloped with Myers wife
about year ago, and just returned
with her. Both parties shot about
the same time, Myers shot striking
Simpson in the breast and coming
out near the shoulder. Myer escaped
uninjured. At last accounts the
wounded man was not expected te
recover. DIR. Easton, of this city
was called to the scene, II mile.

COLLISION NARROWLY AvERrED
A Manchester strcet.Car Comes
Near BEING Run Over.

TIE Dispatch has on several occa-
sions called attention to the urgent ne
ces.ity OF flagmcn being kept perma-
ne ntly stationed where the Richmond
and Allegheny and Richmond and
Petersburg railroad tracks cross Ninth
street south Of the basin, especially the
former. Halls corner" has for years
been considered one Of the most dan
eerous places in Richmond, but ii has
recently been greatly improved by Ca
nal street being wiaened-encrosching
upon the made ground where the canal
has been filed in.
Yesterday morning what would have
been a most serious accident. was mar
rowly ayerted here. The street-car
from Manchester due at the Richmond
terminus ut $3.50 o'clock was coming
over, and the driver, Mr.. Powell, who
wis keeping sharp lookout to see II
a flagman was near, seeing none, had
every reason to believe the track was
clear and that there was no danger ahead.
In this he was mistaken, AS a
shifting train came running down the
track from beside Halls foundry III the
direction OF +. +. Patrick's establish
ment. Driver Powell saw at once that
if he stopped the car it would be di-
roctly in the way of the train, SO he
whipped up the team and Just did
mango to cross the track in safety.
The passengers in the car scram-
bed to get out, and in the rush Mr.. L.
L. Owen, OF Manchester. almost turned
q somersault on the hard cobblestones.
Mr.. Charles Rice, an insurance agent, IN
jumping fell across the track. He just
did manage to roll out of the way OF
the train before it reached him. The pas
sengcrs were very indignant when they
saw the flagman come running across
the basin bridge after the train had
passed Ninth street. Ii was indeed o
narrow escape.
in November, 1885, the Committee
on Streets ordered the Richmond and
Alleghauy Railroad Company to put
up gates on Ninth street similar to those
now in use on Seventh street, but in
Jaxuary, 1856, the committee relieved
the company from putting up the gates

CmaxCERY.cOunr MATTERS.
Large TOsaccs sHit Decided-Con
tested WiiI case.

Judge Holiday, OF the Chancery
Court for the city of Richmond, yester-
day decided the case of JoAes's executor
rs. the Seal-Rcck Tobacco Company in
favcr Of the plaintiff. This is one Of
the largest cases Of the kind ever tried
here, and in it much interest was felt,
especially by those interested in to-
baccO transactions.
The facts in the case are that in the
spring of 1884 a lot of tobacco was
shipped from San Francisco to Rich
mond, and upon its arrival here suit
was brought and the tobacco was
seized. The plaintiff, Alexander Jones,
claimed that lie bought the tobacco
from the SCal-Rook Tobacco Company,
of San Francisco, and it was claimed
by defendants that the sale was ficti-
tious. A large number Of depositions,
the reading OF which consumed several
dsys. were taken. The tobacco was
sold, and the proceeds, amounting 70
nearly $500 are in the courts trea-
sury. The case was argued some time
ago by Messrs. W. W. and Bev. L.
Crump for the plaintiff, and by Hon.
James n. Dunlop for the defendant
and submitted.
The opinion deliyeredby Judge Hol-
laday is as follows:
No just idea of the merits OF this
controversy can be formed without
weeks of labor, involving patient ex-
animation and study Of q record cover
ing thousands Of pages, and presenting
a condition OF affairs and questions OF
law arising thereupon, which are re-
markable in an extraordinary degree.
Without undertaking to commenr ~
length upon the record. it is sufficient
to say that after carefully reading anu
mstnrely considering the pleadings,
the exhibits, the depositions, and other
parers filed-in o word every part OF
the record from the beginning to the
end-and hearing oral arguments TOR
six DAYS which have never been sur
passed in the court, and readingand
considering an able and exhaustive
printed argument fled by MIR. Duniop
for the defendants, and the authorities
cited, have reached the conclusion
that DIR. Alexander Jones was bona
tide purchaser, for a valuable consid
Grafton, from agents who were clothed
with legal authority to make the sale,
and the Court will therefore decree the
funds in court to the plaintiff. Decre'
may 60 accordingly.
Mr.. Dunlop, counsel for the defence
asked for suspending order for nine!Ii Y
days. which means that an appeal w
! Be taken.

Thc Cars Gotten out.

The Dispatch OF yesterday contained
a full account Of the accident the after
noon before, in which, by misplaced
switch, the engine and five car. Of n
freight train over the York River Line
were precipitated into the dock just be-
low tie drawbridee at Twenty-eighth
street, entailing heavy loss upon the
railroad company. A large force Of
hands were engaged yesterday getting
the cars out of the dock. BY means Of
log-chains and engines the cars were
all drawn to shore, but the trucks OF
several Of them were left in the dock,
rs was the engine and tender The
trucks can be easily gotten out il they
can be gotten hold of, but some kind
Of lifting apparatus will have to be
used for the engine. No estimate OF
the loss can yet be made. As stated
yesterday, the goods were gotten out
Tuesday in a damaged condition.

pended was becoming too pnblic. He
thought that only the committee, en-
gineers and reporters should be admit
ted. The evidence is all taken down
by the clerk, Mr.. Bates, and
can he seen by any one who
so desires; the gist of it Is
published in the newspapers, and he
thought this sufficient. He questioned
whether the foreman, Mr.. Netherwood,
should remain, and had so informed
him. From his experience he was salts
fed that employees would give better
and fuller testimony in matters in
which their bosses are interested-who
have authority TO discharge them at
any moment-when the latter are not
present. He said one Of the wit
ncsses examined Tuesday looked at Mr..
NethorNood all the while he (witness)
was on the stand, and seemed timid
about speaking freely. He had noticed
that some OF the other witnesses needed
TO be bolstored up by the committee.
Mr.. CreDshsw said he was opposed
to anything Of this kind. 1t was a good
idea not to be troubled with idle spec
tators, but everybody knew that this
investigation WAS in effect an attack on
Mr.. Notherwood, and it was but Just
that he should be present and hear
what is said concerning him. If man
makes n statement at variance with fact
or rejecting on Mr.. Netherwood let him
be present to mectit and contradict it
when said
Mr.. Snead suggested that MIR. Neither
wood could see the secrctary's report.
and aiterward have any man who does
hi'a injustice arraigred before the com
mittee.
Mr.. Cronslaw said this was unhe ri
of. The idea Of trying n man and ex-
Guiding him from his own trial No.
let Mr.. Netherwood enjoy the privilege
vouchsafed to every man when ac-
cused-of facing his accuser. Any man
who will not testify candidly where Nr.
NetherwOod is ought not to testify at
all. Each one is sworn to tell the
truth, and they should be men enough
to keep their oath.
Mr.. Sullivan agreed with what had
been said by Mr.. Snead, and intimated
strongly that he did not believe any Of
the Witnesses examined had told tine
whole truth not more than one OF
them at any rate. The matter was in
formally discussed at length, but TO
motion was made nor was any vote
taken. The witnesses hereafter Will
only be admitted one at a time, anl not
in Il body as yesterday.

EHcREAsE BN SCHOOL FUNDS.
Manchester 10 EEave Gl.oSO.0s MOrs
Th.s yenr Than Last.

The total receipts on account OF
schools in Manchester for the past year
from all sources, State and city, were
SG.27G.G9. Treasurer Bronaugh yes
terday informed the Djspatch reporter
that for the session of 1887 50 the
available funds will be, including the
balance on hand at the first Of the fiscal
year, S195L37, or s1.G80.GS more than
last year. Oi this S3.3ZG.61 comes
from the state. and 81, llS.51 from the
city. This viii be good news to those
competed with the management of the
schools and bnt confirms what the Dis-
patch has already predicted-that the
next session viii be a full one OF nine
months.
When the gentlemen now in charge
Of the school affairs of Manchester
came into power several years ago they
found that by bad management their
predecessors had become very much in
yolycd in debt. BY wise and judici0us
management and curtailiRg expenses
the debt, which then amounted to some
Sf.CC0 or 5.0Cn, has been reduced to
Si, XVI or lts-. IDE INC past iuit,
yosrs, insrdcr to reduce its obligation
and with the view to socn Obliterstiug
it, the board las run the schools only
seven instead Of nine months. 1t Is
now all assured fact that the next ses-
sion can be run its full length and yet
eliminate the debt entirely.
An appropriation i'll bonds for school
buildings is now being considered by
the Council Committee on Finance,
and the probabilities are good for
opening the schools in October, 1893,
in new aud welleduipped buildings,
and entirely clear Of debt. At present
rented quarters are used. The coming
session the white schools will be part
Of them at the Fiith-street building,
and the three or four lower grades
in the Burnett building. on Hull street
between Sixth and Seventh, which has
recently been rented from Mr. Beattie.
The colored schools, as for several
years past. viii be on Eighth street be-
tween Porter and Perry.
